“The polish, stain, and the beautiful wood grain are all enhanced by the perfect fit and finish of this bookcase. From the crown molding to the rope trim to all of the shelves and the tapered fit, everything was done with a love of woodworking, well contructed and smooth with the intoxicating scent of the stain and varnish. This is a quality heirloom piece and well worth the wait. Sap cherry has more character than more mature heartwood cherry. I got the Asbury stain so it was uniformly dark with a few golden highlights.”
